Early targeted antimicrobial therapy and source control during sepsis

Sepsis - A killer

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by dysregulated host response to infection (Sepsis-3 definition). In 2017, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared sepsis to be a world health priority.

Sepsis is mainly caused by bacteria or fungi and affects 49 million people worldwide every year, 11 million of whom die - more than from heart attacks, breast, lung and colon cancer combined. The costs caused by sepsis are enormous and are estimated at $62 billion annually in the USA alone.

A rapid diagnosis is vital, but currently takes 2 days or longer.

PATHOGEN IDENTIFICATION IN JUST 3 HOURS - FROM WHOLE BLOOD

Cube Dx technology identifies pathogens directly from whole blood in just 3 hours, enabling early, targeted therapy.

 

BROAD SPECTRUM OF PATHOGENS TESTED 

100 microbial species (bacteria, fungi) and resistance genes from just one test to detect clinically relevant pathogens.

 

ONE TEST - SEVERAL INTENDED USES

The test is not only used for suspected sepsis, but also for suspected pneumonia or for testing positive blood cultures.
